| - I whizzed by this place shortly after it opened, and I was ecstatic. I actually screamed to my hubby: "Oh goodie, a hotdog place!"
Of course, the nexttime I whizzed by the place, I realized--it's not at all about the remarkable Polish dog, it was polish...as in paw-lish, where you get you mani and pedi!
I just had to try...simply because it really is closer to my home than the usual place I go to.
First off, love the decor...pink and black (okay , so the color scheme is a bit overdone, but it' screams girly!). the countertops are made of granite and the chandeliers are very retro. It really is a perfect place for the girlfriends to hang out, or the bridesmaids to get drunk.
The massage chairs...divine! They are not your usual chairs that knead your back up and down or make your whole upper body vibrate. These ones do that, PLUS massage your butt and the back of your thights...you heard me right YOUR BUTT. And that alone makes it divine...because let's face it, it's not everyday (or every month for that matter) that someone massages my butt. I could sit all day just to experience a good butt rub down by a chair.
Anyhoo, I got a pedi...but they were having problems with getting water into the foot tub. Now water would come out! And if it did, it was a trickle. And when the trickle grew to a strong drip, it wasn't warm, or hot. So it took them awhile to get my foot tub filled with the bubbly. A little kink that needs to be fixed.
The pedi service was alright, nothing to write mom about. I paid $30 for the regular. My pedicurist didn't give me the foot and leg massage I was hoping for even after I told her to knead harder.
I have to say the color selection is pretty good, and the polish has endured (it's been about three weeks ago now).
Overall, not a bad experience, but I question myself it it was worth $30. I pay $22 at my old place and they really give me a good massage, no matetr who does it. But of course, the ambiance ain't the same.
I highly recommend Pink Polish for girly gatherings. Management said they are looking into that. That bar that Anandita mentioned must be put to good use...make it into a bar...for petessakes!
I give it 3 stars.
